/**
 * Most data in vert.x is shuffled around using buffers.
 *
 * A Buffer represents a sequence of zero or more bytes that can be written to
 * or read from, and which expands automatically as necessary to accomodate any
 * bytes written to it. You can perhaps think of a buffer as smart byte array.
 *
 * Buffers are actually Java objects - the exact same as those documented in the
 * vert.x Java documents. The methods documented for the Java Buffer objects
 * are applicable to Javascript Buffer instances as well. 
 *
 * @see https://github.com/vert-x/vert.x/blob/master/vertx-core/src/main/java/org/vertx/java/core/buffer/Buffer.java
 *
 * @example
 * var Buffer = require('vertx/buffer');
 * var buff   = new Buffer('Hello!'); // this is actually a java thing
 *
 * @example &lt;caption>Creating Buffers&lt;/caption>
 * var Buffer = require('vertx/buffer');
 *
 * // Create a buffer from a string with UTF-8 encoding (the default)
 * var buff = new Buffer('Now is the winter of our discontent made glorioius summer');
 *
 * // Create a buffer from a string and specify an encoding
 * buff = new Buffer('Too hot, too hot!', 'UTF-16');
 *
 * Please see the API manual for more examples
